abc7.com: Southern California's news leader - Raodster Show Celebrates Hot Rods: "January 26, 2007 - The Grand National Roadster Show celebrates the American hot rod, cars that clever young men began creating right after World War II.
The definitive hot rod is widely thought to be the '32 Ford. When the Beach Boys sang about their 'Little Deuce Coupe,' they were referring to a '32.
Some of the most significant '32s in the world have been gathered for the show and each one has a story. Some were built for speed contests on California's dry lakes, while others were created for show.
Ford has also commissioned hand-built pedal cars from some of the top rod builders, they'll be auctioned off later this year for charity.
Even if you were too young to be there when hot rodding began, you might know the cars from pop culture. 'American Graffiti' showcased a mean '32 on the big screen, while the made-for-TV Monkees drove around in a wild, hot-rodded custom Pontiac that's just undergone a complete restoration.
In today's world, the rods that win trophies can cost hundreds of thousands to build or buy.
But for only a few dollars, you can admire the cars of others at the show. "
